I would like to congratulate all those who participated in the 2007 PBL National Leadership Conference in Chicago. Each year college students from across the state of Utah compete against other students from across the nation. Once again Utah has faired well and took place in winning 43 awards including 16 in the top 3. The students from our state become more impressive each year as they rise to the challenge that is given them. I am proud to say that I am from Utah. Congratulations to all those who competed and placed, especially the Who's Who recipient for Utah, Emily Talbot and the UVSC PBL Chapter who had all 12 attending students receive awards in the Awards Program.

I will update this article over time showing video clips of our students receiving their awards. I planned on adding video clips to the site but unfortunately the National Website pulled the video before I was able to capture it. Unless I can find another way to get it then this will not happen. The national site has reposted the video of the closing awards session. I am in the process of editing it for our site. Check back often to see and share in the excitement that we have had. I am also looking for a copy of the Utah State group picture. If you were one lucky enough to get it, please e-mail me through the Contact Us page and I will respond.
